What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Richmond upon Thames for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

    T1: London Plane Re-reduce back to established pollard points. Proposed reduction in height of approximately 3 metres, bringing the tree from its current height of approximately 11 metres to approximately 8 metres. Canopy spread to be reduced from approximately 6 metres to approximately 5 metres. All pruning cuts to be made back to previous pollard unions in accordance with BS 3998:2010. T2: London Plane As T1 — re-reduce back to established pollard points. Proposed reduction in height of approximately 3 metres, bringing the tree from its current height of approximately 11 metres to approximately 8 metres. Canopy spread to be reduced from approximately 6 metres to approximately 5 metres. All pruning cuts to be made back to previous pollard unions in accordance with BS 3998:2010. Front Garden (Corner, Adjacent to Church) T3: Horse Chestnut Proposed crown reduction of approximately 1.5–2 metres in height, bringing the tree from its current height of approximately 10 metres to approximately 8–8.5 metres. Lateral branches to be reduced by approximately 2 metres to rebalance the canopy and restore an even, symmetrical form. Crown to be thinned by approximately 5% to improve light penetration and air movement through the canopy. All major deadwood of 25mm diameter and above to be removed. Works to be carried out in accordance with BS 3998:2010. Reason for Works Routine management to maintain these trees in a condition appropriate to their setting within the conservation area. Works to the London planes form part of an established pollarding cycle, continuing the management regime carried out in the previous application(20/T0789/TCA). The horse chestnut requires rebalancing to maintain a well-structured and even canopy form. Additionally, lower crown lifting is required to provide adequate clearance over the adjacent highway and footpath.
